Season Two: Delgato Family #1
Cappadonna
After my Yaya passed away, I didn’t have anyone that cared for me. I mean, not even a month after Yaya was in the ground, he sat me down in the living room and sold me to a thirty-year-old man. I was sixteen, and my big brother, the man that was supposed to protect me sold me off like cattle on a farm.
My entire life has been to please Zayne. I’m his fourth wife, and the youngest wife. Nobody has ever protected or cared for me. I was tossed the cards that life handed and had to make do with them. That is until Cappadonna Delgato and I cross paths-again.
All it took was for me to see her one time in that visitation room to know that I needed her. Alaia, her name literally means Joy and happiness, and I didn’t see anything of the sorts in her eyes when she stared into my eyes that day. As Allah would have it, our paths were meant to cross on the outside, and they did.
I’m a protector, a provider, and a man, and I don’t think Alaia has ever had that in her life. I don’t care what I have to do or who I have to see to make her mine. She went years without knowing what protection and true love felt like, and I’m stepping up to make sure she doesn’t go another day not knowing how I feel or how I’m coming behind her. If I say she's mine, she's mine, and I've never been afraid to shed blood to prove it.

“Here’s to more bang- bang shoot ‘em up, emergency rooms and kisses on the nose.”
What’s better than one Delgato, ✌🏽!!! Baby Capone said get ready for my twin to shake 💩 up!! 🗣️AND DID!! I thought I was obsessed with Capone, nahhh what I feel for Cappadonna doesn’t begin to compare! I 👏🏽LOVE 👏🏽THIS 👏🏽MAN!!! Pressure!! 😮💨
We were briefly introduced to Alaia in Capone’s series and I knew it was something to her! I had no idea her story would take such a traumatic turn! She’s been through so much and just when she thought she was finally free from the devil, the devils brother appears. Well apparently he didn’t know there was someone worse than the devil walking the earth and while Capp tried to go the nice, reformed route, sometimes you gotta pop out and show 🥷’s that you’re not the one nor the two!
To everyone else he may have been the devil but to Alaia he was her guardian angel, her peace during the most chaotic storm and the one that would protect her life with his very own….oh to be loved by a Delgato 🥰😌. This man did not play about Alaia! From the very moments their paths crossed his number one goal was to create a soft life for her. Needs were anticipated and dreams were fulfilled. Capp is truly one of a kind! Only he can snap a neck then rock a baby to sleep an hour later 😩🤭
🎶 Do y'all 🥷’s bust ya guns? (Hell yeah we bust our guns!)🎶
This is the official Delgato anthem because if there’s one thing a Delgato’s gone do is buss em!!!
Erin you better!!! You came a long way sis!! She said I got that thang on me and I know how to use it!!! Capone need to be telling her “You come back to us” because who is this wife and mother putting lead in headsssss?!?!!! I love it!!
Love me some Chubs! 🥰
Nahiem please pack that baby up and go away! 😒
Kendra is you stupid or is you dumb?! 🤦🏽♀️🥴 Get ready for that slow singing and flower bringing because it’s over for you!
I had a feeling that plot twist was going to be the plot twist!!! Ayeeee ish just got real!
Capp has his plate full with all of these bum 🍑🥷’s he has to take care of! Taz, Ace, Raheem and whomever else, 🗣️COUNT YO MF DAYS!!
On to book 2!

Cap is psycho omg!
Bruhhhhhh Cappadona is insane and I love it! Alaia's story was heartbreaking but I see how she and Cap were destined! I really want life to give her a break. I felt that’s the only similarity between her story and Erin’s story. Speaking of Erin still got it so try her if you want to! Kendra is so delulu and honestly, I’m scared for her🥲. She got with the dumbest man possible and now the city is about to bleed red 🥴. This ending was so wild and I’m nervous for book 2 because one will Chubs be ok? Cap knowing who Aimee is and what he's going to do with that info?!? I lastly have this great suspicion that Taz is going to try and kidnap Alaia and Promise. He needs to go asap!! I am running to book 2!

Worth the Hype
They hyped Capp up so much in the Capone series that I couldn’t wait to get to this one and honey Jahquel did not disappoint, she is hell with these cliffhangers though. Capp is crazy and unhinged and I don’t know why these characters keep underestimating him and his twin. I can’t wait to see what happens to Kendra because Capp said women and children are fair game. 🫣
I was so into this story that I cried 😩 every time I had to put it down. However I finished it in a day so that should tell you something. I would like to say more but book two is calling 🤭.

I enjoyed season 1, however season 2 is off to a bad start for me. This was more or less boring as hell to me. I pushed through because I enjoyed Capapdonna, but the story like to me was boring.
The shootout in the car was repetitive. They did it twice in season 1, is this. Going to be the running theme for all the gun fights? It’s getting old for me.
Capp had beef with 2 different people and literally nothing happened until 10 pages before the end. Season one talked all about how Capp was unhinged but I didn’t get that as strong as it was portrayed. I know this is a five book series so maybe it’ll show more in the upcoming books, but it made for a very, very, very slow burn in this one for me. Also, Kendra! He didn’t even truly get revenge on her. Not that I wanted him to beat her up or anything but he just kept letting people go without repercussion.
Capella. Poor baby I truly hope he pull through because lord they just got each other and it would be sad to be ripped from each other. Also, his new born baby. I still don’t care that she’s Ace’s sister, I still think Cappadonna still to get at Ace for trying to kill his son.
Overall, I don’t know if I will continue, but I do want to see how things fair out with Capella.

I am loving this series!! The ENDING?!! I have to dive right back into the next one. Idk what took me so long to start this. The fact that it’s so many books seems daunting but the way these books are, you will have no problem gladly moving on to the next one, immediately! Capone is still my boo, but Cappadonna ain’t to be played with either!
When I tell you Kendra irked me so bad! She deserves everything that comes her way! She put me in the mind of Tasha. Rather run the streets than be a mom. Just grimy!

Y’all kept saying Cappadonna was the crazy twin. Still waiting to see that be true. This was so calm. And very predictable, unfortunately.

I knew I would love Donna (Capp) from when he appeared in Capone's books. The respect people gave him spoke volumes... but to see how unhinged he is?! WOW.
I know he is portrayed as unhinged, which he is, but he is also VERY disciplined. No one makes him change who he is at his core and that is admirable.
This book was good, start to finish. I literally could not put it down.
10/10 would recommend.

There’s so much I could say about this book. This book took me through it. It was everything. I was excited then crying. Laughing then angry. The storyline came full circle with a couple twists. I was invested from beginning to end. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Another excellent read in this series
If Jahquel can do nothing else, she knows how to make that last line of the book have your jaw dropping! The way she captures us with these stories is unmatched! I really enjoyed Cappadonna’s Book I and excited to see where all these new characters stories are headed. I absolutely adore Alaia, she captured my heart from the beginning and I’m looking forward to her character development. I’m worried about the mayhem Cap is about to reign with what happened at the end, but I’m sooooo looking forward to this ride. Another excellent read in the Delgato Family Series

Why is someone always getting shot? Is there going to be a cliffhanger in every single book? Don’t get me wrong, the story’s intense, and those cliffhangers have me with my jaw on the floor, but I don’t want to keep expecting some big twist at the end every time. Still, I love Capp and Alaia! I really hope Alaia finds the happiness she deserves—she’s been through so much.

When they said Cappadonna put the UN in unhinged they were not lyinggggg. Capone is an angel compared to him! I love Alaina so much and I am so invested in her story and healing.

The Delgatos always into some mess man! The whole family got screws missing and Capp is the main one. I really didn’t think he could be no crazier than Capo but boy he proved me completely wrong. That man doesn’t play about his AT ALL! I also loved how welcoming the entire delgato clan is to someone who is brought it and they jump with no questions asked!!
The story of Alaia And Capp is much more fast paced than Capone’s but i love me a man who don’t need time to figure out who he loves. Capone was dealt such a bad hand with Kendra and she is dead wrong for everything she done did.
My heart broke for Alaia man… She didn’t deserve anything she went through and as soon as her and Capp came into each other lives, hers changed for the better and I love how she is somewhat coming into herself.
Hey.. my bay Erin SLIDDDDDD! I’m sorry, I love my girl down man and loved how I still get to see them in Capp’s story too.
WHY DOES THE ENDINGS HAVE TO ALWAYS SHOCK ME TO MY CORE???? Because WTFFFFFF?? AIMEEE AND CAPELLA?? Pleaseeee stop playing!

These damn cliffhangers! This one made me laugh more than the Capone books did. Also Capp is really a stand-up man.

Oh gooooood lord.
There is so much I can say about this book alone… but what I want to point out the most is how well loved our FMC Alaia is. My mama heart was so so so happy to see a pregnant woman(who has been abused and used her entire life) taken care of. She was truly taken care of once she was out of her abusive relationship and that made my heart swell. I loved the conversation around c sections. Being a c section parent myself, this made me feel so seen.
All of it. I am so invested in this family.

I don’t know what she put in these books, but it’s crack complete and utter crack. Cappadonna has me in a chokehold. I love this man cause he gone ride for his family and is big on respect. I knew from Capone when he saw Alaia that was gonna be his girl I just knew it. Had me over here crying, laughing and angry. But that endinggggggg baby immediately ran and got the second book

5⭐️: Okay, listen now.... this book gave me all the feels and more. The way Cappodonna's story is unfolding and has me on this rollercoaster willingly, has me reading through this book so fast. Oh absolutely yes, running to book 2 now....

I won't lie. The story had me hooked, and I read it in two days, I believe. However, the possessiveness of the main character is annoying. Same with Capone and Erin. The men fall in love instantly and then say the women are theirs. Even the caption on the book is crazy. This isn't the love I want, but the book is entertaining if you overlook that aspect. Also, too many connected characters and the plot twist doesn't make sense.
SPOILER ALERT:
Aimee said her baby daddy was in jail at the baby shower, but then we find out that Capella is the father of her child. So either Aimee purposely lied to Kendra when she said that, lied to Capella, or it's a continuity error. I guess we'll see.

Cappadonna “Leroy” Delgato; He is the epitome of the sentence “ask about me.” Not only he ran that prison as a prisoner himself for the last 15 years, he’s finally out and ready to take back what’s rightfully his. This book was dramatic and chaotic in the best way possible. From getting his comeuppance on his ex for her betrayal to finding his footing back with his twin after being locked away, he never thought he would see the brown-eyed Muslim beauty again, walking the pavement towards the laundromat. It’s almost as if fate brought them back together.
Alaia—an angel sent to the pits of hell, no thanks to her disgusting, vile of a brother Raheem. Only being sixteen years old, she was traded to a perverted, polygamist for thousands. Even though her “husband” wounded up dead, she’s still stuck with a child bred from years of torture, abuse, and pain. Imagine to her surprise when her savior happened to be the man she saw in passing through jail visits.
These two people found one other; one with a hard barrier of trust issues with men, and one who’s willing to do whatever it takes to project his Joy.
୨⎯ CONCLUSION ⎯୧
ACTION PACKED. GRIPPING. PLOT TWIST AFTER PLOT TWIST.
This book was made for television because Jahquel is a true visionary. All the characters in this book—good or bad—have ways of entering your mind and invoking different emotions out of you. I loved every minute of it.
Jahquel J…you done messed up now because I’m officially in a wormhole.

I’m in love with Cappadona! This man took someone else’s baby and claimed that baby as his own. That’s the sexiest thing ever! The way he’s so patient and gentle with Alaia. damnnn, that’s so beautiful. He really had me crying a few times in this book. Alaia been through so much baby girl you have a good man now.
And that man Kendra’s boyfriend Ugh, Cappadona should’ve smashed his head harder into the table because that dude pissed me off! Kendra you and your dululu man can move along
He’s a grandpa, shit!!! And he almost would’ve killed the baby my heart can’t handle it!
Lawd Jesus, the endings of these books have me screaming!!!
Ok bye, let me go continue reading this shit so good!!
